The current name of the club is Corotop Gwardia Opole due to sponsorship reasons.

They were relegated in 1980, but returned to the 1st after a year when they won the 2nd league by eight points ahead of second-placed Posnania Poznań.

The Opole team returned to the first league in the 1992/1993 season - again only for one year - when coached by Henryk Zajączkowski.

In the 2012/2013 season, when Marek Jagielski was the coach, the team won the first division and got promoted to the Superliga.

During the season, in December 2013, there was a change of coach: Marek Jagielski was replaced by Tadeusz Jednoróg.

The team's new home, the "Okraglak" hall, was handed over in September 2017, and since 2018 the facility has been called the Stegu Arena.
